I've been wanting to get onto professional Magic and thought that Esper control would best suit my play style. My deck's main purpose is like any other, to control the board and sneak though damage with only a couple of creatures or nickel and dime with Sin Collectors and Lifebane Zombies (so Solar Flare in a nutshell). I would really appreciate feedback as well as advice for getting into meta game play style. I also built this deck for post rotation after Innistrad is cut, so please bear that in mind. Thanks in advance. I'd also like some input on how to implement the new Theros cards into the deck.

More changes (hopefully for the better) — Sept. 30, 2013

Edit

First off I finally found room for two more lands so I can now get less mana screwed. Second I got rid of Obzedat, Ghost Council and placed him out with Elspeth, Sun's Champion. She has proved to be a lot easier to cast and harder to remove. A couple of changes to the side-board were made since I thought Merciless Eviction didn't come in handy too often, and Glare of Heresy replaced Lifebane Zombie since it doses exactly what I want but more reliably. So there you have it, +1 if you like :D
